The Georgia Bulldogs have been predicted (subscription required) to land a commitment from big Kentucky Wildcatstransfer portal running back Dante Dowdell. The 6-foot-2, 230-pound running back would project to fill the Josh McCray role within the Georgia offense.
Dowdell is a physical runner and is tough to bring down at initial contact. Dowdell is a former four-star recruit. If he transfers to Georgia, then it will be his fourth team in four seasons. The Kentucky transfer begin his college career at Oregon in 2023 before transferring to Nebraska in 2024. In 2025, Dowdell transferred to Kentucky and had the second-most productive year of his career.
With Kentucky, Dowdell posted 112 carriers for 560 rushing yards and three touchdowns. His 2025 numbers did not match his 2024 output at Nebraska, where he recorded 143 carries for 614 yards and 12 touchdowns. Much like Josh McCray, Dowdell is not a major receiving threat. He has just 14 catches for 51 receiving yards in his college career.
Georgia's top competition to land Dowdell is the Texas A&M Aggies. Dowdell would be projected to be Georgia's No. 2 or No. 3 running back behind Nate Frazier and possibly Chauncey Bowens. The rising senior would also have competition for snaps with incoming true freshman Jae Lamar along with Dwight Phillips and Bo Walker.
The Bulldogs are losing running backs Josh McCray and Cash Jones, who are both out of eligibility along with Roderick Robinson (transfer portal) this offseason.
